Sepsis with Prolonged Ventilator Support Cost in Idaho — Compare All Hospitals

Idaho hospitals price sepsis with prolonged ventilator support (Medicare DRG 870) anywhere from $189,452 to $282,159 — a $92,708 gap between the cheapest and most expensive option. The cheapest is Saint Alphonsus Medical Center - Nampa in Nampa; the most expensive is St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center in Ketchum. The state average sits at $264,702.

Gross charges are list prices, not what most patients pay. Insurance plans negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed federal rates, and uninsured patients can usually qualify for a cash-pay discount. But the gross charge still works as a useful benchmark: a hospital that lists sepsis with prolonged ventilator support at twice the price of another typically negotiates higher rates with insurers too, and quotes more for uninsured patients.

Pricing comes from each hospital's Machine-Readable File (MRF), published under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule. Idaho hospitals missing from the list either don't perform sepsis with prolonged ventilator support in volume, haven't published a usable price for DRG 870 in their most recent MRF, or fell below our data-quality thresholds (we filter out clearly erroneous entries like $0 charges). The list refreshes as hospitals update their files.
